BTS‘s Suga is known to be one of the biggest fans of basketball out there, attending many games and showing love for various teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, etc. So, it seemed only fitting that he be invited to the Golden States Warriors match against the Washington Wizards at the NBA Japan Games.

The NBA’s Golden States Warriors has become a fan club of K-Pop idols, including NCT‘s Chenle, Mark, and Yuta and, of course, GOT7‘s BamBam, the team’s global ambassador.

Based on Suga’s recent schedule, traveling to Japan, ARMYs were suspicious that he would not only be attending the upcoming games but visiting with the Warriors.

But Andre Iguodala was especially eager to get to know Suga. They didn’t just pose for a photo with a signed copy of BTS’s recent album Proof.
Andre reached out his hand to a grinning Suga. He politely asked how he was doing first.
Hey! Good to meet you. How are you doing? You good?
— Andre Iguodala
Andre, recognizing a style icon when he sees one, asked Suga about his shoes. He recommended him the trending New Balance 550s.
Andre Iguodala: Dang, you got tight shoes on.
Suga: Yeah.
Andre Iguodala: We got you yourself some New Balances. You like New Balances?
Suga: Yeah!
Andre Iguodala: 550!
Andre also quote-tweeted an additional video of his meeting with Suga, where they talked about what musical instruments the rapper plays. He captioned it, “With the homie!!!”
